Adolescence's Owen Cooper stars in Sam Fender's latest video
North Shields meets Netflix in a new creative crossover, as rising star Owen Cooper has been unveiled as the star of Sam Fender’s latest music video, Little Bit Closer.
Known by millions worldwide for his breakout - and first ever - TV role as Jamie Miller in the streaming platform’s record-breaking series Adolescence, 15-year-old Owen was pictured on Sam’s black and white social media teaser, wrapped in a blanket and gazing into the mist.
The video marks another team-up between the singer and the Adolescence crew, with Philip Barantini (who directed the groundbreaking series) back behind the camera.
Meanwhile fans will also remember Stephen Graham, Adolescence co-creator and star, appearing in the hugely popular Spit of You back in 2021.
It’s another exciting moment for Owen, who’s quickly becoming one to watch. He’s just been cast as young Heathcliff in Emerald Fennell’s upcoming Wuthering Heights adaptation, set to star alongside Jacob Elordi. Not bad for someone who hasn’t even done their GCSEs yet!
Little Bit Closer comes from Sam’s chart-topping album People Watching.
The full video is set to be released tomorrow at 5pm (Thursday, May 8).
